Fairfield City Council advertised its intention to establish an energetic cycling club to undertake activities including:
• Community cycle rides on the local cycleway network
• Management of a bicycle loan system
• Management of a bicycle donation and repair/maintenance scheme
• Promotion of local cycleway routes and recreational opportunities
